Key moments include a frisky "Burning Down the House", where Jones flirts with The Cardigans' Nina Persson, and a beguilingly haunting and bluesy take on folk standard "Motherless Child" with trip-hop trio Portishead.

His actual style -- a full-throated, robust baritone that had little regard for nuance and subtlety -- never changed, he just sang over different backing tracks. On-stage, Jones played up his sexual appeal; it didn't matter whether he was in an unbuttoned shirt or a tuxedo,...
